Posted by Sarah Palin said she has not taken the vaccine, citing that she believes in science.
On a Thursday episode of Fox News’s “Gutfeld!” the former Alaska governor explained why she hasn’t gotten the jab.
“I believe in the science and I have nottaken the shot,” Palin said.
Palin, once a contender for becoming the first female vice president on John McCain’s 2008 presidential ticket, used a snippet from Anthony Fauci’s argument about being previously infected with COVID-19 and building immunity.
“The Fauci-ism of the day, back then, was if you’ve had COVID — I’ve had COVID — well then mother nature was creating an immunity,” Palin said. “And even today they say you’re 27 percent more immune—”
“Twenty-seven times,” fellow guest Drew Pinsky, best known for treating celebrities on reality tv, chimed in, referencing a recent study from Israelwhich backed up Palin’s claims that previously infected people were significantly less likely than vaccinated people to contract the delta variant.
“So I want to ask the questions,” Palin said.
